... The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia) or northern giant hornet,[2][3] including the color form referred to as the Japanese giant hornet,[4][5] is the world's largest hornet.

It is native to temperate and tropical East Asia, South Asia, Mainland Southeast Asia, and parts of the Russian Far East.

It was also found in the Pacific Northwest of North America in late 2019[6][7] with a few more additional sightings in 2020,[8][9] and nests found in 2021,[10][11] prompting concern that it could become an invasive species,[12][Ala 1] but in December of 2024, it was announced that the hornets had been eradicated from the region as well as from the rest of the United States.[13] ...
